About this blog

In Toronto, there is a nightly news magazine called T.O. Night aimed at the commuter crowd. One of the
features that it contains is a section called Shout Out where readers can send a short message, rant, note...
to someone, or to anyone...

I started sending Shout Outs to the woman that I am in love with. Not all of them are published in
T.O. Night - and once the magazine is tossed, so too is the shout out...

Here are most of the shout outs that I have submitted - and some of my other writings to
The Lady on the Train...

I wish that I could tell you...


Angel,

I wish I could tell you that…

sometimes I am lonely.
sometimes I am frustrated with our situation.
sometimes I am angry when you go away.
sometimes you go away when I need you most.
sometimes I think dark thoughts.
sometimes I think that I could go back to her and make it work.
sometimes I wonder if I made the right decisions.
sometimes I wonder if I will ever have the kind of love that I want.
sometimes I am afraid of growing old alone.
I have killed possible relationships before they can start.
I want to marry you.
I wish you wanted to be with me as much as I want to be you.
I worry about our future together.
I worry about you.
I hate it when things are not good between us.

But I can’t tell you these things… you will take them as your responsibility.
And I do not want to focus on the negative.

So I tell you everything else… I tell you all of the things that bring me joy…

I share with you the way you make me feel, the way I see you…
I tell you about your beauty.
I tell you about the wonders that I see.

I share with you all of the love and beauty that I see and feel and keep the fleeting negative moments from you. You don’t need to see the darker side of me.

Just Me.
